HOTELS

Quality Suites Hotel
San Diego, CA
LECE completed the
mechanical and plumbing design for the four-story hotel as well as
completing the power and lighting distribution design, to include
parking and outside lighting.

Quiet and energy efficient package terminal units were selected per
room. We used the split system for the lobby, meeting areas and
hallways. Two high efficiency boilers were used: one on each side of the
building, with re-circulating pumps to maintain the energy efficient
hot water at all times.
Southern Hotel
San Diego, CA
Renovation of heating system for 5-story downtown hotel. Conversion from old hydraulic system to high efficiency electric.

California Institute for Human Sciences
Encinitas, CA
Completed
mechanical design services including heating, ventilation, air
conditioning, and plumbing for 20,000 sq. ft. of office space,
classrooms, and conference rooms. We also provided the electrical
